Fauci Privately Warns Trump Admin Against Reversing Social Distancing Rules

[pshah]

Who knew that the socially-distant Party would have such a hard time with social distancing?

[emiliano4]

They are capable.

Just cowardly.

Trump may well be the greatest con-man who has ever been born. These men simply fold up like babes in their mothers’ cribs.

They can en masse simply decide that they have had enough and end this.

Again, the only reason he wants to roll back social distancing guidelines is that he wants to get his golf courses reopened so he can … wait for it … go play golf.

No golf and no hatefests makes Don a very sad boy.

And in not so other news:

Ban on unnecessary surgeries and procedures includes abortion, Texas attorney general says

From CNN’s Ashley Killough

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said Monday that the governor’s order to postpone “all surgeries and procedures that are not immediately medically necessary” includes abortions

Good luck with that

Trump feels he can ignore Dr. Fauci after hearing Jared Kushner’s ‘conspiracy...

[randome]

For those who don’t want to watch the daily coronoavirus briefing…do you really want to say you weren’t there when Trump lost it all and began cursing and throwing things at the media, and had to be hauled away by his own Secret Service agents? Do you? Because we’re headed in that direction, and I, for one, want a front seat at history.

Great idea providing the blue states set up ID check stations at their state lines, like California’s ag check stations.

HALF of America’s black population lives in red states. I’m kind of partial to not letting red states further go to shit and allowing the most vulnerable populations in them to die. That’s just me though…

[southerndem]

Sorry can’t but I will watch the replays over and over and over

@ghost

Keep trying, Dr. Fauci, keep trying.

Donnie will do what he wants to do, but at least you’re showing that some sanity still exists in this administration.

Yes. And getting this story out now, before the briefing, will help ensure that Trump has to respond to this–especially if he gives any indication that he wants to ease up on the social distancing recommendation.

[randome]

Enshrined in history, I suppose it will always be available.

The only lives they care about are the unborn. After you’re born, you’re on your own.

The virus can kill an old, unhealthy rich man just as dead as a pauper.

[hagarwood]

When Covidiot-In-Chief plays doctor, denies, delays and tells lies about Covid-19 pandemic…
Americans DIE = 573 (as of this comment)

@randome

do you really want to say you weren’t there when Trump lost it all

I’ve been waiting for 3 years. I’m convinced that he’s an evil, orange Weeble.

[southerndem]

That’s why they should be called forced birthers

@grack

He likes Presidentin’ because it gives him an unprecedented ability to get attention, argue with the press, and do favors for actual billionaires.

It also keeps him immune from criminal investigations and the possibility of prosecution.

By the way, has Barr received those increased powers for the ‘Justice’ Department that he needs due to the coronavirus?

[inversion]

He would be fired.

Reminder: ‘Spicy’ told folks that officials serve the president.

[randome]

“Are we sure that shows an increase, though? I mean, there are some very big numbers bigger than that. Very strong, decisive numbers, fabulous numbers that many people say are larger than that. So when you look at things like a President has to (I’m a billionaire, by the way), it doesn’t look so bad.”
